Messy Monday Mix

Posted by Chris Lambert

We couldn't ask for better weather for the cleanup.  Light winds, wall to wall sunshine and temps running in the mid to upper 30s in the afternoon.  With that said, you were in one of two camps today:  

Camp 1: Cleaned-up, power on, plowed out, no damage... it was a nice day to enjoy the picturesque winter scenes. 

Camp 2: Either you're part of the crews working on exhaustion trying your best to quickly return the area to "normal", or you have no power or damage to your property.  Then it's been another tough day trying to deal with the aftermath.  To you folks... I wish for a speedy recovery.

Despite our nice weather today, we'll deal with some ice and rain tomorrow.  A winter weather advisory is in place from 6AM-10AM, west of Route 128 for some sleet and freezing rain.  That'll add a glaze to the roads and snow pack, before the milder air and rain take over by early afternoon.  It's a fairly quick hitting system, so I don't expect a lot of rain. 0.25-0.50" for most.  With dew points rising to the mid to upper 30s, fog will form in the afternoon and be with us through the evening. Roads will be a mess with standing water and big puddles thanks to clogged drainage areas.

However, since we don't get a lot of rain, I don't expect severe flooding issues.  It would be more of an issue if we had 2" of rain and temps in the 50s vs the low 40s.  That set-up would cause more snow to melt rapidly. 

It's still going to be a long few days of cleaning up ahead.  Hats off to the road crews .  You've done a great job so far in an immense challenge.  It's not often that most of the state picks up 20-30" of snow.

Stay safe!

Thunderous Start to Workweek

Heat and a bit of humidity fed a strong - and sometimes severe - line of thunderstorms today. By the time the dinner hour rolled around (6pm-ish), the storms had consolidated into a line. Everyone got a drink of water and a big drop in temperatures - some falling nearly 20 degrees in minutes!

As we exit our recent soggy pattern we do so with one more weather system capable of producing scattered showers & t-storms. This cool front is a slow mover (aren't we all on Monday mornings?!) up in northern New England right now. This slow moving front will settle into our part of the world very late this afternoon bringing a chance of some scattered t-storms between 4-pm. Until then you have a great day with mostly sunny skies along with temperatures in the low 80s. For some, a bit on the humid side for much of the day.

We'll Take Average

Well, we had a lot of clouds this afternoon, but at least not a lot of rain.  Sure a few showers were out there, scattered about, but hopefully they didn't ruin any plans you had with dad.  Temps made it into the mid to upper 70s, which is close to the average for this time of year.  In fact, the whole 7-day forecast is within 5 degrees of average each and every day.  That means lots of upper 70s and lower 80s on the board.  Not bad being average this time of year, huh?

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there, and to my dad as well.  So what's on tap for the day?  Golf, grilling, just hanging out? Whatever it is, all and all, it's still a pretty good day for dad weather-wise.  I wish I could say the Father's Day forecast exactly repeats Saturday, but we do have a few late afternoon showers to track.
